Pico: Recorder with custom keymap

Most Recent

Heh, yes, I'd completely overlooked that page (not having anything Midi to send to or come from)!

Maybe a 'link' to that page mentioned on the recorder page would be helpful?

Thanks

I've changed my keymap with the Belcanto at the end to arrange them as two octaves with the same fingering (as it suits me better!)

Now I don't seem to be able to use the recorder properly - although the length keys illuminate correctly, I only seem to be able to record a single bar whichever I select.

Is it possible to have a custom keymap and the recorder working properly? Or do I need to use different keys? In which case, can I make rearrange the LEDs to work in the way the keys are working?

Or should I use a different method to rearrange my keys?

Thanks!
Martin

Hi, Martin...

It is very rewarding to be able to adapt the instrument the way we feel best; at any given moment

I don't seem to replicate what you experience...
(can you compare with the standard setup?) though...

Some aspects that stand out:
- if you "clear" the physical mapping, strange things will happen to the control keys. better just change the musical mapping, more info about
Physical and musical mapping http://www.eigenlabs.com/wiki/2.0/Keygroups/

Think it's better the way below:

As a guide this is the script for Standard layout

Thanks keyman, that seems to have fixed things!

Now I have to build my setup back up from scratch having got the keys sorted :) Is there any sensible way of finding the differences between 2 setups?

Also, can the recorder record more than 1 loop for each instrument on the Pico?

Thanks!

What you can do about more loops to each instrument is enable overdub, and for the Pico there is a global overdub mode. Think it's documented.
When enabled, each time you record something you get a new take in the scheduler also.
In the pass I have done a STAGE tab with overdub exposed here http://www.eigenlabs.com/wiki/1.3/Player_created_tabs/

Thanks, that seems interesting... I also found this thread which tells where the dedicated key for enabling global overdub is:

It's also mentioned in the Pico quick reference guide, page 16. Midi Out Control: "Recording Overdub on/off"
